Name: New Year's Chamber Concert: From Europe towards the rising sun
Start: 2025-01-18T15:00:00
Location: Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden

Staatstheater Wiesbaden

The entire theater building will resonate with sound during the concert festival. Hosts of the celebration on all stages are General Music Director Leo McFall and the Hessian State Orchestra. The music, too, will audibly expand and journey into space: from Vaughan Williams' elegiac setting of a Shakespeare poem to harmonies of the spheres and Holst's popular "Planets" suite. Here, motivated amateur musicians can once again play alongside the professionals. Bruckner's Te Deum also has an epic quality: for the deeply religious composer, this powerful hymn was his ticket to heaven. For this performance, the singers from the opera chorus and the Wiesbaden City Choir will join forces.

8th Symphony Concert

Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden

Musicians from the Hessian State Orchestra are embarking on a musical journey through Europe to the Middle East. You will hear music and dances typical of the country, from the wedding march at Troldhaugen to the Hungarian Csárdás to the princess' dance at a Persian market. Music crosses borders and brings people together. The Chamber Music Association wishes you a happy new year!
